JOE Joe is a 3-year-old male mastiff mix who came to Berkshire Humane Society last week on a transport from an overcrowded shelter in Mississippi. He’s not your average Joe, he’s a great all-around dog; loving, confident, calm, attentive, smart and loyal. Joe is a big boy who has been keeping his kennel clean. He’s OK with other dogs, but has not been tested for cats yet.
